International Magnetic Solutions has created this on-line calculator to analyse a range of common magnetic applications and generate graphs of magnetic flux density (induction) / attractive force / current etc.

In this section we have set up a program offering many useful magnetic analyses, as follows:

  • Flux density at a distance from a single rectangular magnet
  • Flux density at a distance from a single rod magnet
  • Flux density at a distance from a single steel-backed rectangular magnet
  • Flux density at a distance from a single steel-backed rod magnet
  • Flux density between 2 rectangular magnets facing each other
  • Flux density between 2 rod magnets facing each other
  • Flux density between 2 rectangular magnets facing each other with steel path
  • Flux density between 2 rod magnets facing each other with steel path
  • Force at a distance from a single rectangular magnet
  • Force at a distance from a single rod magnet
  • Force at a distance from a single steel-backed rectangular magnet
  • Force at a distance from a single steel-backed rod magnet
  • Electrical – magnetic analysis of 3-legged circuit
  • Flux density vs magnetizing force for mild steel
  • Smallest magnet to deliver a specified flux density
  • Breakaway force for a rectangular magnet on steel
  • Flux density at a distance from a single current-carrying conductor
